Let’s finish grilled cheese week (and what a glorious time I had) with the king of grilled cheese sandwiches. Spicy gruyere cheese, with sweet caramelized onions, crispy bacon and mushrooms on dark bread. What a treat. It doesn’t get better than that. Usually I use light breads for grilled cheese sandwiches, but the hearty gruyere cheese just works best with a dark rye bread. Give it a try!
